SCOOTER!!!
Ok, you've all been asking for them. Here they are, the scooter pictures. Some info about the scooter for those interested: Its an Eton Beamer Matrix. Eton is a company that makes engine parts for Ford and Chrysler and has decided to start making small engine stuff. So, they've not been around long in the scooter business but they know what they're doing. It has a top speed of about 43mph with me on it, probably faster with Jen. I clocked about 50 though today on a downhill. Basically its going to get me to and from work and running errands. I'm loving it so far. Its amazing all the things you see when you're riding instead of inside a car. One great feature of this scooter is the "trunk." It has lots of storage and I can fit my whole backpack (thanks mom) in there! You can see it well in the second picture.
Today I had my first miracle. Settle down worriers, it wasn't dangerous. I looked into my blindspot to change lanes on a busy street and my $300 sunglasses went flying off. The price of the sunglasses is a long story related to me having some money when I was 19 and being stupid but the point is, I thought they were going to get crushed for sure. I doubled back and looked all over, not finding them. I actually prayed to God asking Him to help me find them, not really being sure if He was into that sort of stuff. Not only did I find them, they were sitting right on the yellow dotted lines where no one was driving without a scratch. Thank you God, or something. It was amazing. Did I mention they are prescription lenses and I don't see real well without them? Yeah.
On another note, Jen and I had a delicious dinner of fish on the grill, rice and lima beans. Thanks Deena for the great fish grilling grate! Hope you all are having a great start to the week!
